Hi Robert,

Could you please clarify what the "window for searches" is?

Also, did you have stories ("pocket selections") before at all?

Denys, thanks for following my problem. question 1 about window for searches It's the search bar about 1/3 of the way down the screen. For me it has disappeared though on my wife's computer it still exists. Question 2 Yes I had pocket selections before. Now it just seems to be called stories. Previously the were sections on recent news, various sports such as NFL and MLB, Tech, movies, etc. I could remove those I wasn't interested in. I found some of the article good and some just wanted me to subscribe.

I do still have my shortcuts to mail, weather, etc

Denys Just realized that my preferred search engine DuckGoDuck, which was reflected in the search window has been replaced by google search in the address bar.
